Raiffeisenbank Rastede API Access & Open Banking

Want programmatic, private access to your Raiffeisenbank Rastede accounts? open-banking.io lets you link this Ammerland cooperative bank (BIC GENODEF1RSE) and pull balances and transactions into tools you control — without certificates, sandbox onboarding, or a corporate PSD2 licence. It works for both business and personal accounts, and consent runs for up to 180 days before you re-approve.

Crucially, open-banking.io is zero-knowledge: your encryption keys are generated on your own device, and every piece of account data is decrypted locally. The servers only ever hold your public key, so nobody at open-banking.io — or anyone who breaches it — can read your Raiffeisenbank Rastede data.

How to connect Raiffeisenbank Rastede

Connecting happens entirely in the open-banking.io dashboard — there is no API call, code, or key involved in linking a bank.

  1. Sign up for open-banking.io and set your encryption passphrase. This generates your personal keys locally.
  2. In the dashboard, search for Raiffeisenbank Rastede and choose your account type (business or personal).
  3. You are redirected to Raiffeisenbank Rastede's own secure login, where you approve access under PSD2 consent.
  4. Once approved, your accounts sync back into your dashboard automatically.

That's it — no developer redirect handles your login, and your credentials are only ever entered on the bank's own screen.

Access your data

Reading the data programmatically is an optional step that comes after you've connected in the dashboard. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — this bundles the API key with your private decryption key. Then use the CLI:

openbanking accounts
openbanking transactions
openbanking sync

or the SDK / REST API. Requests authenticate with the X-Api-Key header, and every response is decrypted locally with your own key. An API key alone only ever returns ciphertext — without your private key it's unreadable, which is what makes the whole system zero-knowledge. The CLI and SDK only read and sync connections you already made; they never link a bank.

All of this runs at around EUR 3/month, covering 2,600+ EU/UK banks.
